Through an ocean of harm, she dreams of her escape
To an island of calm, where sorrow is swept away
It’s freezing inside, she’s alone and frightened
But I can tell you’re alive, when your breathing whitens
And channeling thought, she helps me find a vein
She tightens the knot, ’cos there’s no other way…
The trivial things that I want to implode
Are coming to me in a fractured code
The longer I waited, the more that I felt
’Cos I don’t believe in a God that can help
As the sedative floods, she moves and I am captured
She is warm in my blood, a partisan enraptured
Drain the candle, that’s burning on the mantle
She is reaching through the dark, where the river flows to your heart
All this inaction, it drives me to distraction
But it’s a means to let you in, when it’s searing through my skin
Rain, I’m on fire now
Rain, I’m on fire now
She lies on the tracks, as riven as scarred terrain
We’ll never look back, incinerate our remains
I need you to end this pain of mine
And put all the opium in my spine
The trivial things that I want to implode
Are driving away on an endless road
She’s a shimmer of light to heighten your defences
Where the feeling ignites a world without consequences
Drain the candle, that’s burning on the mantle
She is reaching through the dark, where the blood flows to your heart
All this inaction, it drives me to distraction
But it’s a means to let you in, when it’s searing through my skin
I’ll wait, for so long
The light fades, and she’s gone
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
I’m not afraid, if she’s gone
’Cos I’ll wait, for so long
Hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
Rain, I’m on fire now
Rain, I’m on fire now
I’m on fire now. I’m on fire now.
I’m on fire now. I’m on fire now.
She dreams…
